i-mobile TV 626 Connectivity and Multimedia

Connectivity and Multimedia

The i-mobile TV 626 supported basic 2G GSM network technology, covering bands GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900. It offered GPRS Class 10 for connectivity, but did not support EDGE or WLAN, thus limiting data speeds and connectivity options. For wireless audio, Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP support was available, yet it lacked a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which was somewhat unconventional. The inclusion of an FM radio provided an extra dimension of entertainment, catering to users who favored traditional over-the-air music and news.

A unique aspect of this phone was its integrated TV tuner, allowing users to watch free-to-air TV broadcasts directly on their mobile device—a significant allure for media enthusiasts at the time.
